| 3. | Enter the following commands and press Enter: |
Copy
ovftool --disableVerification --noSSLVerify --name=$VMname -- datastore=$DataStore -dm=thin --acceptAllEulas --powerOn $ovaFilePath vi://$user:$password@$vCenterIP/$dataCenterName/host/$clusterName/$ESXIHostNameWhere:
| ● | $VMname(--name): is the name of the deployed machine |
| ● | $DataStore: data store for deployment |
| ● | $user:$password is the user and password of the VMware Host machine |
